Silly Stupendous Students Studied Superbly

This week we...
  • have been learning about plants. 
  • planted plants. 
  • looked at seed and leaves.
  • went to computer lab and typed cinquain poems that we wrote. 
  • researched a Sandy Beach animal. 
  • wrote Haiku poems. Haikus are Japanese poems with 3 lines. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 syllables and the last line has 5 syllables. 
  • continued Daily 5. 
  • made a star fish. 
  • celebrated Alex's birthday! 
  • went to the library and did a scavenger hunt! 
  • learned about open syllables and closed syllables. Open syllables end in a long vowel sound. Closed syllables end in a consonant and have a short vowel sound. 
  • measured in centimeters and meters. 
  • measured in feet and inches. 
  • measured using Miss Hawthorne's feet, our feet, and Miss Hawthorne's friends' HUGE feet. 
  • started reading Mrs. Frisby and Rats of Nhym. 
  • have been learning to make inferences from what we read and know. 
  • learned how water is absorbed in the roots of the plants and travels up the stem into the leaves through the veins to help a plant grow and survive. 
  • wrote Acrostic poems about the Sandy Beach. 
  • learned there are 100 centimeters in a meter. There are 3 feet in a yard. There are 12 inches in a foot. 
  • closed the classroom library until further notice due to a page being torn out of a book. BIG SADNESS. 

STAY TUNED FOR PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!
